From a USB Connection

You can view your photos or play your music and videos from a
connected USB flash drive or USB Hard Drive.
With the TV switched on, plug in a USB flash drive or a USB
Hard Drive to one of the USB connections. The TV detects the
device and will list your Media files. If the list of files does not
appear automatically, press  SOURCES and click USB.
You can search a file with the search field or browse your files in
the folder structure you have organised on the drive.
The TV will also bundle your Media files according to their type
–  Videos,  Photos or  Music. The colour key
functions and the options in  OPTIONS are therefore
dedicated for each type.
To stop playing videos, photos and music, press  HOME and
select another activity.
Warning
If you try to pause or record a programme with a USB Hard
Drive connected, the TV will ask you to format the USB Hard
Drive. This formatting will delete all current files on the USB
Hard Drive.

From a Computer or NAS

You can view your photos or play your music and videos from a
computer or a NAS (Network Attached Storage) in your home
network.
The TV and computer or NAS must be in the same home
network. On your computer or NAS, you need to install Media
Server Software like Twonky™. Your Media Server must be set
to share your files with the TV. The TV shows your files and
folders as they are organised by the Media Server or as they are
structured on your computer or NAS. On the TV, the colour
key functions and the options in  OPTIONS are the same for
all types of Media files.
If the Media Server supports searching for files, a search field is
available.
To browse and play the files on your computer,
press  SOURCES, click SimplyShare.
